Not licensed in any market we cover
This brand is not licensed in the markets we cover (or only in part of them), so it has no Wayfinder Score. If you play there, you do not get the protections a local licence brings: limits, self-exclusion and a regulator to complain to.

What it is
BitStarz opened in 2014 and was among the first casinos to take ordinary currencies and bitcoin side by side. It is known for quick withdrawals and regular slot tournaments, and its lobby runs to several thousand games from dozens of studios.
It has won a string of industry awards, mostly from affiliate publications.
Licence status
BitStarz holds no licence in the markets we cover (US, UK, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Portugal, South Africa and Ontario). A Curaçao licence does not make a site legal to use where a local licence is required, and the site does not accept players from the UK or the US.
Without a local licence there is no self-exclusion scheme, no mandated limits and no dispute body to turn to.
What to know
Crypto prices can move between deposit and withdrawal, which adds a second risk to the game itself. Bonus terms carry a wagering requirement and a maximum bet while the bonus is active.
